Get rid of the "Enter Here" on a banner

I don't think they deserve that much credit.

For some sick reason, I'm seeing more banners with Enter on them. Very annoying. I use Fireworks to go in an edit the offending frame(s). I'll either paint it out or change Enter to Click. I don't even attempt to use the same the font.

I don't have any problems with Enter being on banners...except when on the warning page.

Actually, I wasn't aware that some reviewers do decline for the Enter on banners...not on the entry page. But yea, a lot of sponsors like to use that on promo materials.

A good image editor is definitely your friend

It's one of the things that's a pain because I'd rather not take the risk of giving a reviewer an excuse to decline.

I'm another one who edits out the word "Enter" if I think the banner might be worth using.
I sometimes replace it with "Click Here", or maybe "$1 Trial Here" or an "Instant Access".

I haven't tried IrfanView - maybe I should.
At the moment I use the "Print Screen" button, and paste it into photoshop to edit, and then a very handy simple free tool called UnFREEz if I'm going to reanimate it.
If the file size is too big after that I upload it to GifWorks.com and optimize it from there.
Sometimes I switch from PhotoShop to ImageReady to edit/reanimate, but that's rare.


Now then, what about banners that contain those awful spelling/English language mistakes. I leave those ones alone and avoid them.

LOL I've seen some horrendous grammar mistakes on paysite tours. I don't even try to promote a site that can't use proper english. Very unprofessional.

You're making it way too complicated. Just open the file in ImageReady, delete the offending frame and you're all set.

I can't believe that I could have been doing it that way all along! I'm such an ass!
Thanks Lemmy!

Enter is a very powerful word/click-pulling tool, as is "Click Here".
On the first page of a freesite the surfer is gong to be looking for the word "Enter" to get to the content, so Link List owners only want to see it in one place, and that's the entry point to to the main page.

Regarding the rest of a freesite, I have used banners with "Enter" on them in the past, but now I don't just in case it causes a refusal - better to be listed with fewer clicks than rejected with none, and I'm led to believe that no "Enter" on those banners will give less clicks.

"Click Here" I avoid sometimes as it may also cause a rejection at some link lists, namely Hoes, and they send lots of traffic. I'm sure there's a debate about "Click Here" versus "Hoes Traffic" but at the moment I'm doing okay when I don't use "Click Here"....I think.


I'm think I made that explanation way too complicated - I seem to do that with a lot of things.
